There is no reason to be worried.  You are working towards making a good living and you have invested a lot of money in your future.  You are not the target that the CO is looking for.  Relax and stay confident.

 

You can understand what the CO is looking for.  There are many who apply who have no job and no degree.  They have no income and are sponsored by a parent.  That is a red flag.  You can use logic and see that you are not the person that they would be concerned about.

How does this go? No I'm getting scared haha. I will be a recent college graduate by the time my fiance's interview rolls around (August/September) and we plan to live with my parents through my masters degree (until the end of 2019). Its nothing weird to us, intergenerational families living together is something common in Hispanic and southern european culture. I may or may not have a part time job in the 6 months between my graduation and the start of my masters program, throughout college I've been counted as a dependent for my parents but I've worked some part time jobs. But technically at the time of the interview there's a high probability I will have no income and I'm going to be sponsored by my parents. Is this the "red flag"?

That is all up to the CO at the time of the interview.  There is no way for us to know what he will see.  They are well trained.  You have to convince the CO that you and your sponsors can support themselves and your new spouse.  The bigger the household the more money is required.

 

Sponsorship is not enforceable at this stage so the CO has the final say.  During AOS, sponsorship is enforceable and the sponsor will be responsible for 10 years.

 

There is no "red flag" for living with parents.  There is no "red flag" for no income as long as you satisfy the CO.  If you put enough of those situations together, the CO has to look at it all objectively.  Just have your bases covered and be prepared for some tough questions.

 

If it was your job to protect the taxpayers from having additional burdens due to immigrants, how would you react to the story.  Be prepared and make sure you can convince the CO that there will be no taxpayer burden due to your marriage.

As John stated, you are investing in an education. You are not working because you are lazy or as such, but because you are trying to invest in an education. So i think as John stated use this to state your case.
